Low Libido after Cycle/High Natty Test

30 yrs of age, been lifting 10 yrs or so.

I did 500 mg a week of test enanthate for 9 weeks. No AI, nothing else in the cycle. Gained 15 lbs. Around the 7th or 8th week I got ED big time. I came off after week 9. Waited 2 weeks and started a natural PCT of Unleahsed and Testron for a month. I know, I should have ran clomid but wanted to keep as few drugs in my body as possible. I started taking aromasin after PCT and still no sex drive, and after a few days it came back hard...Everything made me horny for a day. Then the next day it was gone again as quick as it came. I stupidly kept taking aromasin for about a week.

Got a simple blood test. Testosterone was at 701. Free was 25.3 (above normal reference range) Probably due to aromasin. Estrogen was 7.8
Bloods came back Nov 17th. Cycle ended with PCT around middle to end of Oct. It's Dec 7th and still having problems getting hard and getting in the mood. I should be thinking about it all day like I used to.

I should say, I've kept my just about all my gains as far as strength and size and have been moving up in reps and making pr's since I came off. So I feel I have recovered well as far as keeping my gains and testosterone being normal...

Any Ideas? Prolactin since I had high estrogen for over a month? It only took a few days to crash it with aromasin though, so shouldn't have been too high. LH? If test is 701 LH should be alright?

Thanks
 
I say.. restart your PCT (clomid and/or Nolva- pharma grade only) for 3-4 weeks and then retest (allow 3-4 weeks after PCT).. good luck!
 
Thanks for the replies!

Repeat the Labs !

I suppose I should pay the extra and have LH/FSH and prolactin added?

The only other thing I can think of, which I hate the idea of...is that it's psychological. Cause I have been able to go doggy style with my girlfriend the last few times but not cowgirl or missionary. It gets soft too easy. During a bj I stay hard but it goes limp before we can get it in for her to mount me. I say pychological because when the problem happened the first time, I was with a girl I'd never been with and had been trying to get for months. Embarrassing!! That was week 8 or so of the cycle. Maybe in my mind I'm still screwed up from that experience, since it sort of works sometimes?

But my "drive" still isn't the same either, don't think about it or get revved up near as much. Could that also be psychological? Or more likely hormonal? Cause otherwise...I feel great!
 
That sucks bro. I have the same problem with my junk. Dicks are pretty particular things.. for instance when I was in my party days, everyone always told me that doing some blow before you smash makes you go forever.. after a small keybump I couldn't even get my dick hard, the first time was with this girl I was trying to hook up with for like 3years. And the second time was when I had a threesome lined up. Pretty embarrassed. I still have problems when on cycle.. balancing my e2 just right with an AI to be horny and keep it up is impossible for me.. that's why I live off viagra haha. Doesn't make you horny but let's you beat it up like a pornstar.
 
Last night it was hard as it's been since this thing happened and I was able to maintain it no problem throughout sex, even missionary. I don't know what happened but I'll take it! I even felt like I was looking at girls more often the last couple days with lust.

Is it normal for libido to return so late if you do a natural pct? My testosterone came back fast so I figured libido would have been right along with it...
 
I think that was part of it, after I fixed the estrogen problem I mean. I seem to be back on track now though, maybe it took longer than normal to rise where it should have been after I lowered it too much
 
Was going to retest, but since libido and erections are back I haven't thought about retesting. I suppose I should before I do another cycle...which the time for would be in a couple weeks if I decide to go that soon
 
Seems I had a relapse. Been working fine, then the other night all of a sudden went limp with my girl! Wtf...

Only supplements I took was tribulus, ginkgo biloba and arginine. Drink 1 cup coffee every morning, and kre-alkaline creatine capsules. Idk if maybe any of that would maybe cause it somehow
It's not just function, the mood isn't there again. Don't careally to look at girls much. It's confusing!
 
As these are WNL whatever libido issues remain problematic, the genesis is NOT hormonaly mediated.

And to that end, attempts to fix that which is not broken, is guaranteed to BREAK IT, eventually.

Then you'll have a real mess on your hands, IME!

As others have implied, the problem is in your HEAD!
I suppose that's a possibility, but there is reduced blood flow as well, causing temporary atrophy. I've even recently considered high cortisol or adrenal fatigue cause I feel tired after 8 hours of sleep in the morning and that it affects libido as well. I don't know how to fix psychological though!

If it's psychological, wouldn't another cycle be ok? I've got aromasin this time lol
 
IMO, you're not ready for another cycle.. what you think is going to happen? I don't know about you..But I'll take a rock hard D**k and pounding my women over muscle ANYDAY!
